-Segmentum Cadia-
Fleet Operations Staging Ground Operation Titan
Clank Clank Clank went the Admiral's boots as he walked into the Breifing Room. Nine hundered Captains were sitting at a vast table. He cleared his throat, "As you all know 3 months ago we recieved a desperate call from a rebel leader of Coreworlds by the name of Daniel Masakai. He claims his people have been oppressed by the Sith. This not the only plea for help we have recieved regarding the Sith. The Varny'a has decided that a full scale operation is needed.". He walked into the open section of the room, "Computer lighting level 0". The lights shut off leaving the room black. "Computer bring up plans regarding 'Operation Titan'" he ordered.

"Clearance level 5 required. State your name and clearance code" the female AI responded.

"Admiral James R. Tetterworthy password Tango-Charlie-Tango-Tango-Beta" the Admiral responded.

"Accepted, retrieving files on 'Operation Titan' Admiral" the AI responded.

With in seconds a massive holographic sphere with dots littering it appeared. The Admiral walked up to it. "This is Sith and Allied Sith space" he said with no preface. "This blue vein, is their trade route for their hyperdrive ships. Computer enlarge 550%" he said. The Sphere then displayed a few systems and the blue vein. "As you can clearly see it would be of massive strategic importance for us to Capture the systems of Ivon, Hoth and Vargant. This would gives us a great tactical footing and cuts off roughly half their trade goods. We are also fortunate in that these sytems are lightly guarded mining outfits. So there will be little resistance." the Admiral continued

"What about the locals will they recieve us well?" asked a Captain from the back.

"Good question. The years of oppression from the Sith have given the people utter resentment for their Sith occupiers." the admiral answered. "In other words, we are most welcome." he corrected himself.

Several more Captains questioned him. After Several hours and all the questions were answered the Admiral dismissed the confrence. He Strode over to the vast window. He looked out at Cadia Prime, her entire surface was one glittering city. The planet gave off a yellow-orange aura. A few years earlier she was on fire due to the Sskiss invasion, but now she was fine. He sighed and then left the room to goto his quarters, tomorrow was the beging of a long struggle.

Out Skirts of Segmentum Cadia

-Onboard the RMF Obitus, Loki Class Battle Ship-
The Admiral spun around in his chair facing the viewscreen. The fleet was all formed up, nine hundred Metallinautian battle craft were formed up and ready to fight. This was the largest scale military action ever preformed by the Metallinautian Military in 3,000 years. "This is Admiral Tetterworthy speaking. We are first going to attack the Ivon system. Long range scans see it as only a mining colony with no defense other than a few hundred Stormtroopers on the Surface of the main planet. Be prepared for the worst. The bigger ships are going to activate FTLi as soon was we hit the trade route. Anything that comes in, destroy it on sight. Meanwhile carriers will bombard military sites from orbit. After it is deemed safe, bombers, escorted by interceptors will pummel local communication sites and barracks. After Communication has been severed Jammer ships will activate their jamming frequencies. Then we will land One Million Troops on the surface. Two out of the Ten Armour divisions will escort our troops to the Capital. Once the planet is under our control, I want all fighters deployed and on patrol. AS soon as that is done construction ships will begin the building of a small out post. It should not take more than 2 months to build. That is all for now." the Admiral Instructed.

"Sir, the Fleet has signaled that they are ready." said Ensign Robin Jameson.

"Let's get underway" the Admiral said. With that the fleet took off toward Sith space.

**********************************************************

After several hours of travel the fleet came to the edge of the Ivon system.

"Report" the Admiral ordered.

"Scans indicated no fighters or cap ships sir. We are all alone here." a tactical personell said from behind him.

"Signal the The Fleet to activate FTLi" Tetterworthy said.

"FTLis active Admiral" robin said.

"Begin orbital bombardment. Keep it military only." he barked.

Upon the Signal from the Obitus the carriers moved in to orbit around Ivon Prime. Their Port Arcs blasted targets on the surface with immence gobs of plasma. After the bolts struck, only smouldering soils was left with a thick layer of iron over it. Several minutes passed by. The clear signal was given, several thousand fighters and bombers eneterd the atmosphere. White streaks appeared as they passed the clouds. The began strafing the barracks and communication centers.

"Admiral, communications down, jammers standing by." Robin informed the Admiral.

"Activate." Tetterworthy said.

The jammer vessels began to move into position and eminated the jamming frequency at rotaintg intervals to prevent anything in or out.

"Sir the troops are landing" Jameson updated.

On the Surface...
Several Hammerhead Railcannon tanks hovered into a suburban area. All was quiet. So far there was scarce engagments here and there. Suddenly the crews of the tanks saw a few children run out of the houses and cheer them on. Soon hundreds of kids and adults were cheering their liberators onward.

"Sir All clear on the planet." said a Tank General

The Admiral Sighed a sigh of relief.

/ooc/ you're up

OOC: I wish you would go on MSN more often. This post was done at 3:17 am, I take no responsibility for its quality.

“Sir, here is the daily reports. There were a few outbursts in the square last night however we had a few storm troopers carry out some summary executions, nothing major but you know.”

Captain Maler turned his head. “You do realise that you’re supposed to consult me before you go and execute people no matter who they are, but since the order from Coruscant is to quash any form of rebellion, I suppose I can let you off the hook. Not that a report would do any good, were on the Galactic fringe, Coruscant cares almost nothing for us.”

“Captain you know that’s almost rebellion you are talking off?”

Smiling and waving his hand Maler signalled his subordinate to leave. “Rebellion, Ha! Look where that got the Jedi. When it came to the Empire, especially since Grand Admiral Thrawn was in command, rebellion was more than futile.” Moving to the glass cabinet at the wall he pulled out some wine, lifting his glass he toasted to himself and his upcoming promotion, soon he would off this rock and back in civilisation, or so he hoped.

Control Centre Operations Building

“Beep” “Beep” “Beep” “Beep”

Maler turned. “What on earth is that? Come on Vare check the console.”

Sighing Vare got up from his table, putting down his deck of Tabal cards he moved across the room. “Its probably just another smuggler, we couldn’t deal with it anyway, not while the fleet is on manoeuvres.”

“Just check the console and report it. You never know it could be a test, you know what Thrawns like.”

Pulling up the data now. “Captain we have a large unidentified fleet above us. They’re charging weapons. Captain they’re targeting us.”

Standing up shocked and fearful Maler turned to the communications operator. “Signal Coruscant, let them know hurry. As plasma rained down on the command bunker and garrison the communications operator turned with a tear in his eye.

“Captain, I can’t were being jammed.”

Ooc: more later, I’m too tired right now.

Coruscant

Fleet Command

Walking down the command walkway of the new command room Admiral Malin was impressed with himself. In the space of two years he had become the second most powerful man in the Empire. In his hands he held thousands of systems in his grasp. Billions of lives, now that was true power. Looking down he realised that the polished floor shone so much that he could actually see his reflection, it was indeed a great day to be a member of the Imperial Navy. Grand Admiral Thrawn was not due back for another three days, until then he was in command of the greatest planet in the Empire. Coruscant. Settling a border dispute, the Grand Admiral was more then capable of insuring an Imperial victory with the federation, but reinforcements were always on stand by, just in case.

“Admiral?”

“Yes what is it lieutenant?” Malin said looking down into the operations pit.

“We have just lost contact with the Ivon beacon.”

“Curious? What is the frequency of their technical breakdowns.”

“They have had no problems since the communication equipment was replaced. If the beacon has broken down Admiral they should have sent a transmission by now reporting it.”

“Very well. Send a communication enquiring as to the nature of their difficulties. What ships do we have near that sector?”

“The Hound and the Impervious Admiral, their currently re-supplying in the Hoth system.”

“Very well put them on alert. Inform me if we don’t get a reply within two hours.

“Yes Admiral.”

Three Days Later
"Sir, we have left two hundred thousand soldiers and one hudred tanks in the system for peace keeping efforts. We have also left twenty Aggressors and a dozen fighter wings to protect the station." Robin informed the Admiral.

"Very Good" said the Admiral, "How long until we can move into the Hoth system?" he futher inquired.

"The fleet is standing by." Robin replied.

"The Hoth system has regular patrols in it. Inform the Fleet to be on combat alert status." the Admiral instructed. "Engage" Tetterworthy said.

The eight hundred eighty ships flashed out of the system in a green blink.

Several Seconds Later

"Sir I am reading two Sith vessels. Reccomended course of action?" she inquired.

"Raise shields, send a sensor flare, draw them to us and open fire."

"Aye Aye sir" said Robin. "Flare deployed" she further added.

From the Obitus a probe emmiting radiation and various light and plasma emmisions streaked past the Sith ships. In hopes of luring the vessels further the entire fleet powered up.

ooc: your turn

*cracks whip* Finish your post god damn it!

*catches whip* Im done!~!~!~!~!~!~!

Go on MSN please.

Coruscant

Admiral Malin strode into the command centre. “Any News?”

His second in command quickly answered. “The probes we sent, have been destroyed Admiral, we can’t tell what’s happening in that system. We can only assume that it’s been overrun by a hostile force.”

“Agreed, I will inform Grand Admiral Thrawn. Have all commands in that sector put on alert, and heighten security procedures at the Sluis Van shipyards. The Hellfire is under repairs there, and the Grand Admiral will not take kindly to its destruction.”

As Admiral Malin left the command sector the communications were being dispatched.

ISD Chimera

Grand Admiral Thrawn was now hastily reorganising his forces, the border conflict with the federation was now over and the fleet was preparing to return back to Coruscant. His brilliant white uniform blended in with the clinical surroundings of the bridge, while his pale blue skin and red eyes commanded respect and authority from his men.

Captain Petitch, a good officer but not Admiral material was hastily controlling and ordering the ground forces for pick up, while the generals on the ground saw to their troops. All in all it had been a victory - one the federation would be kind to remember.

A loud bleeping sounded from his command chair, this was the restricted communications channel, only Admiral Malin had access to it. “Captain Petitch, I will be in my ready room if I’m needed.”

“A nod and a salute followed from Petitch as Thrawn left the bridge.”

Entering his private quarters Thrawn delighted in his artwork. Almost filled to capacity the room held pottery and paintings from the Nahal – a now extinct species following the recent campaign, while his holo emitters held the greatest pieces of artwork ever created. Flicking a small switch on his comm link Thrawn watched as a painting of the Nahal eighth dynasty disappear, and in its place a more unappealing Admiral Malin materialised. Saluting Malin waited for permission to speak.

“I assume Admiral you are contacting me regarding the fall of Ison? Yes, yes I know of its situation. You can expect me back at Coruscant within two days, until then you are to assume a defensive stance. The fleet at Yag’Dhul will remain in its present position. While or our forces are to go into combat readiness, anything of unexpected is to be regarded as a threat. Our force at Corellia will depart immediantly for the Sluis Van shipyards and you will prepare for an outflanking attack. The enemy will most likely attack the Hoth system next, therefore all forces are to retreat to Bespin and defend our mining operation. You are to create a level five mine field, and order twenty imperial Star Destroyers to defend the installation. Order Hoth to go into siege situation and contact me as soon as the enemy is sighted.”

“What of the ground forces at Hoth Admiral, shall I order the Impervious and the Hound to begin evacuations?”

“There is no need, the ground forces will serve to delay the enemy while we react. Hoth has enough defensives to last almost a week from an enemy force, the former rebel stronghold held well before and it will hold again.”

“Understood Admiral.”

“Thrawn waved his hand as the holo image disappeared”

ISD Impervious. Three Days Later

Captain Suban, had just entered the bridge. His sleeping patterns were now as erratic as the wind. Holding a cup of coffee close to his chest he waved away Imperial doctrine just this one time, he was in need of the caffeine intake. “Captain on the bridge.” Shuddering Suban made his way to his command chair.

“So what do we have in-store for us today?”

First officer Commander Pechite, quickly scanned his datapad. “We have finished taking on supplies captain and we’re ready to depart. However we have been put on alert from Coruscant, as you know we have lost contact with the Ison system three days ago. We are now ready to depart for Bespin, and we have just received similar confirmation from the Hound. Hyerpspace coordinates have been inputted and Hoth reports that they are now in siege mode. The energy shield has been raised.”

“Good work commander, shall we depart?”

The ever reassuring sound of engines powering up burst into life as the Star Destroyers bounded into hyperspace. Just as the ships were leaving they caught sight of several large energy signals. Hoth was under attack, just as the readings were being reported Captain Suban quickly made his way to communicate with Coruscant.
